📢 MC42 IS BACK ON! 🎉
Earlier this week, you may have heard the disappointing news that Complete Maths would be ceasing as a company. Following this, we contacted our workshop leaders and exhibitors to let them know that MC42 would unfortunately not be going ahead.
However, response from a number of people who have rallied together to save the event, I am absolutely delighted to announce that MC42 is back up and running!
We appreciate that some of you may have removed the event from your diaries or made alternative plans. However, we would love it if you could reconsider and rebook your place to join us in Barnsley on Saturday 14th November 2026.
I also want to take this opportunity to recognise the fantastic support we have received from AQA, who have been incredibly supportive and are actively assisting us in making this conference happen.
There is still a lot to do, but we're determined to make MC42 happen, and we hope you'll join us.
🎟️ STILL HAVEN'T GOT YOUR TICKETS? NOW IS THE TIME!
If you haven't booked your place yet, we'd love you to come along and show your support.
Help us make MC42 happen. Every ticket counts, and your support really does make a difference.
👇 BOOK YOUR TICKETS HERE:

Thank you to everyone who has rallied around, offered support and helped bring this event back to life.
Let's make MC42 happen. See you in Barnsley on 14th November! 🙌

✨ The Problem with Problem-Solving
Led by Rob Eastaway (@robeastaway)
We all agree students need stronger problem-solving skills—but what if the real problem lies in the problems themselves? Too often, school word problems fail to er the strategies needed for authentic problem-solving in the real world.
In this session, Rob Eastaway will uncover why many traditional problems fall short and share alternatives that spark curiosity, invite exploration, and make students want to solve them.
✨ What you’ll take away:
✅ Insights into why many standard word problems don’t work
✅ A bank of engaging problems that promote genuine problem-solving skills
✅ Strategies for designing or selecting problems that provoke curiosity
✅ A fresh perspective on what meaningful problem-solving looks like in the classroom
Leave inspired with new ways to bring problem-solving to life—and tasks that truly get students thinking.
